About us

At the initiative of a group of actors from the South of France (Dark Euphoria, Le Grenier à Sel, la Villa Créative, Avignon Université) and in partnership with the Festival d’Avignon, the Performing Arts, Digital Stages meetings invite professionals in the performing arts to consider issues of digital transition and innovation (augmented and virtual stages, immersive theater, hybrid forms, interactive devices, participatory performances, etc.).

After 4 editions attended by over 700 participants, SVSN has become a key event for exchanges and networking, and a real source of inspiration and understanding of the creative possibilities offered by immersive and interactive devices.

Closely linked to societal changes, artistic practices are echoing the digital transition: on-stage technical resources, augmented live performance, motion capture, digital doubles, real-time interaction, digitization of cultural content… The deployment of these innovative, digital artistic forms is overturning cultural programming and the relationship between artists, stages and audiences. Hybridization, virtualization and augmentation of the performing arts are the watchwords of these new models, where everything remains to be invented.

It is essential to share and perpetuate best practices, and to articulate these innovation processes within artistic projects and cultural policies. This is at the heart of the SVSN project, which aims to be a collective entry point to these new hybrid stages, and a human-scale space for acculturation and exchange, at the heart of one of the world’s biggest live performance festivals!
